Amr ibn Hishām - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (488 words)
Abu Jahl was one among the leaders of Quraish, and among the chieftains that in varying degrees kept a relentless hostility towards the Muslims.
When a Muslim convert was discovered among the hierarchy of a tribe, Abu Jahl would reprimand the convert and then ridicule him in front of his fellow tribesmen so that he lost their respect.
Abū Jahl beat Zinnira for her conversion to such an extent that she lost her eyesight.
Abu Talib ibn ‘Abdu’l-Muttalib - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (598 words)
Abu Talib raised and supported the Islamic prophet Muhammad while he was a young man.
Abu Talib also protected Muhammad against other sub-clans of Banu Quraish, who were the enemies of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed.
Sunnis hold the view that Abu Talib never recited the Shahadah, or testament of faith, so was a non-Muslim, but that he would receive the most lenient punishment on the day of judgement from amongst those who would be banished to Hell.
